Carriage homes are the same as Coach Homes
but normally larger units. The name coach and carriage are used interchangeably in many
developments.
Carriage Homes are similar to Coach Homes
with the distinction coming from the lower number units per building. Additionally the
living area of Carriage Homes does not typically extend completely over the garage. Carriage Homes usually offer 2 to 4 units per building in a 2-story walkup design with the
living area ranging from 1,900 to 2,800 square feet. The upstairs units normally have more
square feet of living area as they usually extend partially above the garage space. In
addition most upstairs units have cathedral or vaulted ceilings.
Parking is a 1 or 2-car attached
garage with access from the interior of the home or from a covered walkway, allowing easy
access between the garage and the entrance of the home.
